With using single-cell DNA template strand and long-read sequencing by PacBio and Bionano optical mapping1,069 inversions are discovered in great apes which is six-fold than the                       previously reported inversions (Table 1 and Fig 1). 


X chromosome has 2.5-fold more inversions when compared to autosomal length. 


Megabase-pair scale haplotypes for individual chromosomes is constructed and 23 genomic regions are identified that have recurrently toggled between a direct and an inverted                           state over 15 million years.

This article describes the area of using PacBio SMRT sequencing for footprinting, (i.e. looking at certain regions of DNA that are exposed on some functional way and modifying those                   regions, then reading them out with PacBio.) 

PacBio SMRT sequencing is used for looking at the DNA:RNA hybrid structures that form during transcription in Single-Molecule R-Loop Footprinting.

Detailed end-to-end protocol for this method and some examples are included in this article.
